Stormy Daniels wore bulletproof vest to Trump trial in fear of what ‘some nut might do to her’

Stormy Daniels’ lawyer has revealed that the porn star wore a bullet-proof vest to Donald Trump’s hush money trial because she feared what “some nut might do to her”.

Clark Brewster, Ms Daniels’ attorney, told CNN that testifying in the historic trial had taken its toll on her, revealing that she cried herself to sleep the night before taking the stand.

“She wore a bulletproof vest every day until she got to the courthouse,” he said.

“She was paralyzed with fear – not of taking the stand or telling her story, but what might some nut might do to her. And I’m genuinely concerned about it as well.”

He added: “She has a lot of fear...she was concerned about the security coming into New York.”

Ms Daniels testified for more than eight hours over two days last week, revealing details about her alleged 2006 affair with Mr Trump. The former president has denied the affair took place.

Mr Trump has been on trial since 15 April after he was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments made to Ms Daniels ahead of the 2016 election, in order to stop her coming forward with allegations of a 2006 affair.

Ms Daniels faced gruelling cross-examination from Mr Trump’s defense team about her story but she stood her ground and defended her career.

“This was your career for over 20 years, writing, acting, and directing sex films,” Mr Trump’s attorney Susan Necheles asked.

“You have a lot of experience making phoney stories about sex appear real, right?”

“Wow,” Ms Daniels said, pausing to laugh. “That’s not how I would put it. … The sex in those films is very much real just like in that hotel room.”

Last week was not the first time the porn star expressed her fear for her life due to the hush money
